The day after our Main Drain adventures mike and i did a nice relaxing10 mile hike to the top of Naomi Peak at around 9800ft. This was done to get a birds eye view of the karst and to unwind a little before our next trip to Neilsons Well which is a 880ft deep cave with a 315ft entrance pit into what was(is it still?) the largest room in utah. After this comes the Backbender (10" squeeze) and the Barrier Pit Traverse to the top of Duplicate Dome which drops you into the Doubleback Crack(12" squeeze). After the crack you come into the Bubble Rooms and the top of Fantasy Well at 256ft. A few more pits called Dixie Cup Pit and Junction Pit brings you to the Ancient Stream Passage and if you get a little turned around such as we did you get to have a little bit of confusing fun in the Centipede Maze. Realizing we had went the wrong way we soon found the way on down the stream passage to Nuisance Drop and Obnoxious Pit. This brings you to the Virgin River and after a little Brief Delay you come to Cascade Falls and the Cascade Hall. This is where we turned around and began the way back out to end our last cave trip in utah. All in all one of the greatest weeks of caving I have ever had.

Thanks for the caving trips reports Brian! I've really enjoyed reading Parts I, II, III ! I'd like to see more cavers post reports such as these.
